Uterine Receptivity
 
My research group investigates crucial factors that determine the uterine microenvironment (called uterine receptivity), wherein the embryo implants and pregnancy is maintained successfully.

Understanding how these events are regulated at the molecular and cellular levels and elucidating the detailed mechanisms responsible for making the endometrium becomes more receptive to an embryo are essential to identify novel therapeutic strategies for clinical intervention for the patients who experience repeated implantation failure. We are currently testing potential therapies that have been identified through our previous research.
